Distant Doonhamer Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I’m really looking forward to getting back to restaurants, pubs, holidays etc. Can’t wait. Some people will really struggle and I find it a little sad that some don’t seem to have any sympathy for those who might struggle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 All sounds sensible to me, good on them for putting that together and making it as safe as possible.Yep, hopefully all schools are going to similar lengths. We've already seen what happened to infection rates last autumn when you pile all kids into classrooms with barely any precautions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmadrid Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I was speaking to a couple at the weekend who are both teachers , one in Perth and Kinross and the other in Angus Perth and Kinross school are doing S1 , S2 and S3 only on a Tuesday and Thursday with S4, S5 and S6 on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday The confusing thing for parents will be they don't have the space to have all the S1 , S2 and S3 children in school at the same time so its 2 of the 3 groups on a rolling rota so week 1 is S1 and S2 Tuesday, S1 and S3 Thursday, then the next week starts S2 and S3 etc. Parents and kids will lose track of which day they are meant to be in but with class sizes very limited and 10% of the staff still shielding then there is no other option. The school in Angus is a new build but has very narrow corridors which is their main concern , already over capacity and possibly following a similar patern Both schools need the distancing requirement to be reduced to give more class time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 NRS data showing a drop of 89 deaths this week, 141 on total. Fastest decrease in care homes, now only 10% of deaths. If memory serves it was about 60/40 at the peak.Insert cigar image at your leisure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall numbers are dropping which was to be expected, but that the proportion of deaths among the highest risk / vaccinated has fallen even faster hints at what the impact of vaccinating more of the general public will do. Ideally we want to get back to a situation where care home deaths make up the majority of total deaths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 29 minutes ago, 8MileBU said: Absolutely this. Probably one of the saddest parts of the pandemic is that in many cases, I expect a lot of families and social circles have all just basically got used to not seeing each other. It’s hard to imagine normal life and interactions resuming where the main topic of conversation isn’t Covid. Try picking up the phone and going through your numbers for family and friends. Phone them. Wouldn't you be really pleased to hear from them so why not let them hear from you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the norm and everyone is still in touch and speaking regularly, but calls and messages are a poor substitute for how it normally would be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual train at 7:30am which is often standing only had 2 folk in my carriage. The station car park had that's all but full by then had the total of 8 cars. Yes I am sad enough to have counted. City centre still dead. Basically only workies and Deliveroo guys about. Shops all closed as are a lot of the food places. Masks been worn everywhere. Based on that I'd say lock down where it was most effective is still effective Incidently, the office is on George Square and had received the treatment from the "Pee-pul". Normally I would condemn mindless vandalism but if you spray an extra R next to the first R that might be acceptable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
